Risk Avoidance: The strategic decision to steer clear of activities that could lead to adverse consequences. In the context of digital ecosystems, this could mean not implementing certain features, not using certain technologies, or not pursuing certain activities that are assessed to carry a high degree of risk. It’s a proactive measure taken based on risk assessment results to mitigate potential threats and vulnerabilities, thereby ensuring the stability, resilience, and robustness of digital systems and networks.
